[Kay follows him over and listens to the story. While he doesn't really know why Narvin has been attempting to keep it a secret (since the state of not knowing has caused him notable distress), he does see that it's bothering him. At the same time, someone without proper authorization taking measures into their own hands-]
[Well, he just said it himself. Even with proper authorization, a civil war still came about. Based on distrust, and Narvin isn't particularly giving anyone the chance to be trusted.]
[So he puts his hands on Narvin's shoulders.] Look, Sunshine. I know this must be pretty distressing for you, but we got men in the field. We have patrol with real good eyes.
You can't be obsessed here. You're the tech right now. You gotta go back to when your head was simpler. [He drops his hands, knowing that's probably no small feat. When he had to retire, it was like climbing a mountain.] The situation you described has happened to me at least a dozen times, except I managed to disarm the bomb first. And I'm a baby by your people's standards of longevity.
And even if you were security? From that story? It's pretty evident you'd be way too personally involved to use good judgment. [He gestures at the crowd.] Try to look for some of the good people while you're scannin' around, alright?
